The Ladykillers

This remake of a 1955 British heist film is a delicious farce set on the boundary between old and new Mississippi, with a typical Coen cast of misfits and bungling miscreants—notably, Tom Hanks as the loquacious Professor G. H. Dorr. “In his first truly comedic role in years, Hanks summons up an unforgettable caricature of Southern gentility turned foul…. [the Coens] include wickedly sharp moments” (The Onion). 2004, 35mm, 104 minutes.
